Free Support Services

We’re here to answer New Yorkers’ questions about their end of life concerns. We provide direct support services to thousands of New Yorkers on end of life issues. We serve individuals and families who may be facing the end of life or who may simply be trying to plan ahead. We offer information and support, either in person or by phone, about a wide range of end of life issues.

You Are Not Alone

We provide information, advocacy and support regarding end of life choices and options, the goal of which is to facilitate treatment decisions that reflect the wishes and values of the person living with the disease. We understand that if individuals do not have complete information about the pros and cons of various options or interventions, they will not be able to make an informed decision. We educate those who contact us about effective ways to communicate with healthcare providers, as well as members of their own families who may have difficulty accepting the patient’s end of life choices.
